I have a volume of human scriptures

All four legion commanders simultaneously typed a question mark.

?

They had previously thought that the commander of the Sky Lock Legion had fallen into some kind of strange state, like dementia.

Not only did he remain unmoved by the storm of blades emanating from the boundless forces of primal time and primal space, allowing them to slice through his body, but he also stood like a statue in this critical moment.

Now, I'm finally awake.

I had hoped to get him to make a move and fight for a chance of survival under this terrifying millstone of heaven and earth.

Unexpectedly, the commander of the Heavenly Lock Legion seemed to have really gone mad!
Task!

What mission are you talking about!
He's about to die!
Still talking about the mission!
Furthermore, what does it mean that the mission is over?
Aren't we searching for the magical artifact that revealed our whereabouts?
He's about to be killed without even seeing a ghost, and he's still muttering about how the mission is already completed?
However, it is clear that the commander of the Sky Lock Legion is not actually senile, nor is he mentally deranged.

Because everything that happened next proved him right.

At that moment, everything seemed to stand still.

Whether it was the enormous millstone slowly rotating above the sky and earth, the four terrified legion commanders, or the terrifying force they were trying their best to resist that was enough to crush them completely.

—Everything seemed to stand still at this moment.

However, the legion commanders who were proficient in the fundamental principles of time knew that this had absolutely nothing to do with time stopping.

It was as if every person present was being crushed by an endless, terrifying mountain, unable to move!

That wasn't a pause in time, but rather an incredibly powerful and terrifying pressure descending from a distant direction, rendering them completely immobile!

In an instant, the legion commanders trembled and shook all over, like leaves being shaken!

They looked around in terror and confusion!

—What they were certain of was that this was definitely not the owner of that giant millstone!

Even though the endless millstone of time and space was extremely terrifying, they could not withstand it.

But at least by fully utilizing their own domain and power, they can still manage to contend with this torrent of time and space.

But the aura before me is different.

This is an insurmountable chasm, as if they were just tiny ants on the ground, while the other side was a terrifying meteorite rolling down!
They are not even on the same level of "life"!
At the same time, an extreme sense of foreboding, extreme fear, and extreme despair... enveloped the hearts of the legion commanders in an instant!

This was not an emotion based on the current situation, but an instinct that seemed to be engraved deep in their souls!
It was as if something incredibly dangerous and terrifying was about to come.

One by one, the legion commanders struggled to turn their heads and look at the Sky Lock Legion Commander.

Even speaking became a struggle and hesitant!
"What... exactly... is... going on...?"

With everything suppressed by that terrifying aura and unable to change, the four legion commanders asked a question.

They didn't believe that their comrade, the commander of the Sky Lock Legion, would deceive them, but the current situation was just too bizarre!

"I'm sorry, I lied to you."

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion shook the chariot, showing no remorse whatsoever; his voice remained as cold and calm as before.

At that moment, the legion commanders were filled with righteous indignation!
"Tian Suo...you...you will die a horrible death!"

"Heavenly Lock! You went to all this trouble... just to... just to harm us?"

"Heavenly Lock... don't think... the faction will let you go..."

"Madman... to harm us... he's caused such a commotion... what have we done to offend you..."

The legion commanders, almost hysterically, shouted their fury.

Such a huge cost!

Is it merely targeting those four legion commanders?
The legion commanders found it utterly absurd just thinking about it!
It should be noted that this mission involves not only the five legion commanders, but also a hunter army of tens of millions—a massive force that is by no means insignificant even for the entire hunter faction.

If we disregard combat strength and only consider value, this army of tens of millions of hunters is countless times greater than the four legion commanders they are "targeted"!
Especially in today's war environment, hunters in the hunter faction are already quite valuable.

Now, in order to kill the four legion commanders, Tian Suo is even willing to drag tens of millions of hunters into the mess!

This was undoubtedly quite absurd for the four legion commanders.

In particular, a large portion of these tens of millions of troops belong to the Heavenly Lock Legion Commander's own command.

But the Sky Lock Legion Commander remained indifferent to their anger, shaking his head as before: "No, the mission is real, and it's not meant to harm you. You... are not qualified."

At that moment, all four legion commanders were stunned.

His brows were furrowed deeply.

What do you mean?
"The mission is real."

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion continued speaking.

With everything completely immobilized by that terrifying aura, he wasn't worried about making any mistakes.

"But the objective of the mission is not that so-called magical artifact."

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion continued, "Such a thing never existed in the first place."

The true objective of the mission doesn't require us to seek it out; it will find us on its own.

Now that it has come looking for us, our mission... is complete.

These words left the four legion commanders even more confused.

What do you mean?
There is no magical artifact that can reveal the movements of the Hunter's army.

Why did the hunting faction suffer repeated losses in that endless battlefield?
And what about those targets that come to you on their own?

Could their real target be the mastermind behind this time-space mill?
What the hell is the Heavenly Lock Legion Commander plotting?

The four legion commanders couldn't understand it.

It's also incomprehensible.

“A ghost has existed in the endless battlefields since thousands of years ago.”

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion continued, "We don't know who he is, which faction he belongs to, or even whether he is a being as we consider him. But the only thing we are certain of is that he exists, and not only does he exist, he is also relentlessly attacking our soldiers and the remnants of our natural enemies."

According to our investigation, dozens of such incidents have occurred.

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion recounted everything in detail.

"At first, we didn't pay much attention. Both we and the remnants of our natural enemies just thought that this ghost was probably a powerful lone wolf."

But we later discovered that this was not the case at all, because it not only devoured the world's original power as a world, but also the dark power of the remnants of our natural enemies—in the endless battlefield, those remnants of our natural enemies would devour our remains and power, but after they died, the remaining dark power was enough to survive in the same place for tens of millions of years. But at the scene of the attack by that ghost, not even a trace of dark power could be found.

As you know, that power is practically a natural enemy and poison to our world.

But that ghost could devour it.

Therefore, we suspect that this ghost is the very entity we are both searching for—and only such an entity could devour two completely contradictory forces.

At that moment, the four legion commanders finally realized the truth.

They certainly knew what the existence they were all searching for truly was.

—That ancient and terrifying aura and power has been relentlessly sought by both the remnants of natural enemies and the hunters.

Or rather, the source of this endless war is that mysterious and ancient aura.

At first, it was just those crazy remnants of his natural enemies who were desperately trying to find him.

Later, the hunters also distributed those strange crystals, attempting to find the source of that ancient aura before the remnants of their former enemy.

Now, the commander of the Sky Lock Legion has concluded that it is this very aura that is relentlessly devouring the lives of both sides on the endless battlefield.

Like a ghost.

Because of the repeated and bizarre attacks that have resulted in the annihilation of these armies, the legion commanders and hunters have not been far apart for quite some time now.

As a result, destruction events rarely occurred, and the ghost rarely took action.

The legion commanders had almost forgotten his existence.

But now, the commander of the Sky Lock Legion is telling them that the ghost's true identity is the source of that ancient and mysterious aura!
For the four legion commanders, this was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

But no matter how explosive the news was, it was nothing more than a surprise to them.

What truly made them look grim was their current predicament.

Without a doubt, after figuring out the true mission objective of the Sky Lock Legion Commander, they understood their role in carrying out this mission.

— Bait.

Since that so-called ghost, which willingly devours the power of hunters and remnants of natural enemies, and he hasn't had many opportunities lately.

He certainly wouldn't let this opportunity to take advantage of their expedition outside the battlefield pass him by.

For that ghost, the power of the primordial world of such a massive number of tens of millions of hunter soldiers was an irresistible temptation!
As legion commanders, they are not only the leaders of these soldiers, but also the bait that will bring out the ghost!
In other words, regardless of whether the mission succeeds or fails, they will probably not escape death—that terrifying millstone of time and space has already proven this point. Below the level of the Apostle, there is absolutely no way they can be a match for that ghost!
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to resist that terrifying spacetime millstone even when all four legion commanders joined forces.

"Tian Suo...you've certainly got a good plan..." After realizing everything, the Green Poison Legion Commander's voice was incredibly cold and chilling.

“Fool, do you think he can decide and execute such a thing…?” the commander of the Divine Mirror Legion chimed in.

“Indeed… The mobilization of tens of millions of troops is beyond the control of a single legion commander. It even involves expeditions beyond the battlefield… I’m afraid even the Apostles cannot make such a decision…” the Corpse Death Legion Commander also spoke up.

"So... this is the plan of that ancient being..." The commander of the Wansheng Legion felt utterly hopeless.

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion stared at them silently.

But he didn't refute it, which means they... guessed correctly.

This was not part of the Heavenly Lock Legion Commander's plan at all, nor could any apostle have accomplished it.

Rather, it's... the plan of that Void Dragon Elder who now commands the entire Hunters' Faction!

"not only that……"

After a long pause, the commander of the Sky Lock Legion continued, "It's not just the plan of the Ancient Void Dragon Elder, but also... the joint scheme of the six great beings stationed far away in the forbidden zone."

They want to use us as bait to find the source of that ancient aura, and then... protect it.

All the world power within us is their...sincerity.

In that instant, all the truths came to light!

It turns out that the tens of millions of hunters, as well as these legion commanders, were all gifts given to the "source of the ancient and mysterious aura" by the six high-ranking members of the hunters' camp!

"Because the ancients know that the ghost is the key to determining the future, and all our sacrifices... are worthwhile."

The commander of the Sky Lock Legion spoke indifferently, as if he had already disregarded life and death.

But suddenly, the commander of the Green Poison Legion realized something was wrong.

"No, the Heavenly Lock, no, it shouldn't be like this."

He felt the terrifying aura that suppressed everything, and the terrifying pressure that was rapidly approaching from afar. He shook his head and spoke.

"If the master of this space-time mill is the source of the so-called ancient aura you speak of, and also the so-called 'ghost,' then what's the situation now? If I'm not mistaken, 'it' as well is now suppressed and unable to move, isn't it?!"

As soon as he said this, the other three legion commanders realized that not only they, but also the enormous millstone of heaven and earth, were being suppressed by this aura!

I can't move!

At the intersection of time and space, they could even see a figure slowly being squeezed out from the overlap of time and space!

Although the commander of the Sky Lock Legion showed no emotional fluctuation, he nodded and said, "--Not bad, Qingzhen, you observed very carefully."

But what I just mentioned was merely the plan of the seven ancient masters of the Hunter faction.

Besides this, the Ancient One of the Void Dragons has his own plans.

His voice suddenly turned icy, filled with a calm yet terrifying killing intent.

"—Lord Void Dragon Ancient One, indeed we must find the source of that ancient aura, that is, the so-called ghost."

But unlike the other six ancient beings stationed in the forbidden zone, his purpose was not to win him over or befriend him, but rather... to utterly destroy him! (End of Chapter)
